Barcelona is one of the world’s best destinations; come visit and you’ll probably want to stay longer. There are so many things to see and do. Are you on a hurry? Let’s talk about the top 5 sights in Barcelona!

The Top 5 Sights in Barcelona

#1 – La Sagrada Familia

Probably the most famous sight in the city, and one of the most iconic buildings in the world, the Sagrada Familia is the magic Catholic church designed by Gaudi that put Barcelona in the map.

The architecture is surreal. Impossible arches, columns, and windows, while it all feels organically natural and coherent.

A gem of a sight, although a bit crowded during peak tourist season. You can’t miss it; you won’t see anything like this anywhere else in the world.

#2 – Parc Guell

The Parc Guell is a another modernist masterpiece conceived by Antoni Gaudi, the visionary Catalan architect.

The Park Guell was initially designed as an independent suburb meant for the affluent Catalan bourgeoisie. The project encompassed a number of independent houses as well as recreational areas, markets, schools, and a park area.

Nowadays, Barceloneta is a trendy neighbourhood that blends the old and the new; plenty of seafood restaurants, working-class families living next to Erasmus students, and plenty of tourists all year round.
